EMPOWERED MOM

I actually got this photo from a friend’s friendster account. A picture of her first time to assist in another woman’s giving birth… It is always an amazing event, the actual experience of witnessing BIRTH… Amazing how a vagina spreads out to let out a new life that has waited months for his or her first day on the outside world… As a mother, it was really amazing how a new life comes out from your very own body… All the pain and the cramps and the nine months of having the baby inside you can not compare to that very moment the baby comes out… A miracle indeed… I thank God for blessing me with a wonderful, intelligent and beautiful daughter… What more can I ask for…

Eve Ensler, the author of the world’s most controversial, provocative (and I should say women’s spiritual rediscovery of the world of womanhood…) book, THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, have written a very wonderful monologue about the Vagina and Giving Birth… It is called, “I WAS THERE”…

A new life that comes out in this world deserves all good that we can give… Love, Security, Peace, A Name, Education, A future— everything that is stipulated in THE RIGHTS OF A CHILD… I hope all parents will stand up for their children and give them the life that they deserve…
